DRAMS | Interactive Webinar on Recipe Management
Delivered by Hayley McMinn, Product Manager on Wednesday, 19th November 2025
In this on-demand webinar, Hayley McMinn — Product Manager at DRAMS — explores how DRAMS 5 brings structure, control and flexibility to blend recipe management. Drawing on her experience working with distilleries and maturation warehouses worldwide, she shows how clear recipe rules for age, spirit type, cask or barrel type, and finishing periods help ensure every blend is produced consistently and meets its intended profile.
You’ll see how effective-dated recipes and approved alternative components keep production moving when stock availability changes, while role-based permissions and full auditing give you confidence that critical recipe data is tightly controlled. Hayley also demonstrates how Blend Request in DRAMS 5 supports manual stock selection, surfaces inventory that matches your recipe rules, and uses expected loss calculations to help you dump the right amount every time — with instant visibility of blend costs and variances.
